Nice! As a follow up, is there a good app/source to get more positive articles Ike this regularly?

Ooh I dug through recipe apps a while back, I ended up using Pestle. It’s pricier than Paprika but I prefer the Pestle UI. Both good apps with similar feature sets, just providing another option.

Paprika - $5 Pestle - $20/yr or $40 lifetime

This is all correct and is commonly known as redshift or blueshift. It’s the same idea as when a car or train passes by and you hear the pitch get higher as it approaches you, and then lower as it leaves you.

To add to it though, stars themselves (regardless of our perspectives on them) do come in different colors. Betelgeuse is an easy star to find in the night sky that has a distinctly redder color compared to most stars. It’s the left armpit star in the constellation Orion.

Stars have different colors based on many factors like their composition and how hot they burn.

It’s just poorly-worded and written like a late-night tv infomercial. That should be your first clue, whenever the tone of the content is speaking to you like you’re stupid or gullible.

“Does Joe Biden eat children for breakfast?! Wait until you see what we’ve uncovered. EVERYBODY KNOWS Sleepy Joe is hiding something, don’t let him Destroy America and Take Your Freedom!!!”

I clicked, wanted to make sure I wasn’t being biased and ignoring news I didn’t like…

That article, what little I could get through of it, reads like it was written by a failing high school student, at best.

Unsure if the author is brain dead, the target audience is brain dead, or most likely both.

It’s not like Lemmy had one shot and missed it. Reddit is almost 20 years old, your favorite communities probably weren’t poppin overnight. Lemmy is growing in daily posts and comments, give it time.

Nah. Check this link. Second most populous site in the Fediverse behind Mastadon, which had a huge head start. Plenty of users have come and left, that’s fine. They will come in waves and growth fuels more growth. Most importantly, check out the last two graphs. Posts and comments continue to increase. Build it and they will come. There’s content here and in time more people will discover you can have the content and the community without the Reddit bullshit.

Don’t be too hard on yourself, BallShaped. It’ll be alright.

Unless you’re panting because you’re scarfing down food so fast you need to catch your breath, then yes.

Weight loss can pretty much always be simplified to calories in, calories out. All the different fads, trends, diets, and fasting are all just different means to either reduce your calories in, or increase your calories out.

Anything that makes you pant is more calories out.

Life in a Day

Not a movie exactly, creators asked some basic questions and invited people to submit footage from a single day in July 2010. Exciting or mundane, anything.

It’s really well put together and always gives me a refreshed perspective on my place in the world.

They did it again in 2020, during the pandemic.

Yea, FTL travel implies that we have somewhere else to go.

Now while I assume there are plenty of other habitable planets out there, strictly speaking we don’t know that.

I would imagine some of the worst are rare conditions that take you from the inside out. I can’t find reference to the name of the disease, but I swear I remember seeing a bone condition that caused spiky growths, almost like crystals, to form from your bones.

It would be slow and excruciating and you would beg for death long before it ever came.

What a silly argument. I guess next week they can donate the other half of their wealth for the next disaster and just be a broke poster on lemmy, eh?

Let’s see the receipt for your donation of .03 of your net worth, then?

Wanna see mine? I don’t have one, but I’m not sitting here complaining about people who donated 10M, either.

To expand for OP and others-

To scientifically disprove such a thing would mean that we have hypothesized and tested every single possible explanation and reached definitive proof in each case.

1. We can’t hypothesize every possibility, since many potential explanations are things that are simply beyond our ability to comprehend or conceive of. We don’t know what we don’t know.
2. We can’t test for the vast majority of things that we CAN conceive of. How could you disprove that ghosts don’t exist in an invisible, undetectable parallel dimension to our own?

Dark Knight Rises was when I decided to start avoiding trailers as best as I can. They showed the best part of the opening scene, with the plane dragging the hull of the other plane through the air…

I remember sitting in the theater that whole scene pretty much knowing what was gonna happen. And when it did, instead of being blown away like anybody should be, I had basically no reaction.

Nuclear is carbon-free, I don’t see any problem with this. Solar and wind are not the answer to every problem, I think nuclear is part of a smart and efficient energy future.

Not my hobby but love the passion. Make sure to add a mini ATC tower, fill it with some birdseed on the upper deck and then let the birds and squirrels help guide you home.

Huge plot hole that nobody’s talking about, smh.

Yes please! Lemmy.world and lemmy.ml shouldn’t make up the majority of my feed.

I think best case scenario, you have themed instances based around art, tech, politics, news, gaming, food, etc, and the largest communities are hosted there. Then you have “catch all” instances like lemm.ee which federate with everything, there can be as many of these instances as needed as the user base grows. These types of instances should be where the bulk of the new user accounts go, assuming just an average user looking for a /all replacement. Curated instances like beehaw allow for a more fine-tuned experience, but should still function basically as a catch all and not as “hosting the content” instance.

However I understand that building up to that is damn near impossible with the current infrastructure. We would basically need a means to migrate an entire community to a new instance, while simultaneously updating everybody’s subscriptions to reflect the new home of the community.

This is how Lemmy should be, with the majority of the content being hosted on themed instances. Easy to browse if you want to focus on something, otherwise use Lemm.ee or other “catch all” instances if you want a more /all experience. Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml shouldn’t host well over half the content I see. Easy targets for DDOS and then their users are screwed AND their hosted content stops federating.

Spread out is the way to go, it’s the whole point of the fediverse.

lemmyloves.art seems like a name that could catch on. I’m sure if it became a prominent art community on Lemmy people would donate to support the upkeep.
